It’s only a matter of days now before South Africa’s most popular race day event is set to take place in the Vodacom Durban July. Designers Francois Vedemme, Malcolm Kluk and Christiaan Gabriel du Toit of the label Klûk CGDT and Abigail Betz offer their fashion advice for those in search of the perfect race day garment…

Francois Vedemme’s Fashion Tips:

Do keep it simple and stylish with clever forward thinking.

Try to be innovative with personal style without being trashy and literal.

Don’t fall into the trap of rehashing garishness year after year.

Accessorize – a fabulous pair of shoes always defines the outfit together with a good bag and not too many extra baubles, the garment must speak for itself.
